Ephesians 3:17-18 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

A. The breadth of Christ's love: Through All ages, through all nations, through all ranks of men.

B. The length of Christ's love: Its continuance From everlasting to everlasting.

C. The Depths of Christ's love: It stooped to the lowest position [Christ became a man, humbled himself to the death of the cross]; to save those who had sunk into the depths of sin.

D. The height of Christ's love: Seen in the adoption of sinners into the family of God. Raising us up to sit with Christ in heavenly places. Making us heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.

Epeshians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

A. Christ's Love: The greatest of all loves.

B. To Know: To experience and to feel the Love of God.

C. So great a love our feeble minds cannot fully understand it. Even the angels desire to look into it; for they cannot fully comprehend the love that God has toward sinful men.

FILLED WITH THE FULNESS OF GOD.

Vs 17 "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith"

A. Before we can know the "fulness of God", we must know Christ as personally dwelling in us.

B. Where he dwells: Notice he does not dwell in our "heads", or in our "tongues", but in our hearts.

C. He dwells as:

1. He dwells in men as king, to rule them and to protect them.

2. He dwells as Master, and provides for them.

3. He dwells as Life, to quicken them.

4. He comes as the Comforter, to comfort them.

D. He is received by faith and he retained by faith, and we commune with him by faith.

E. Unto the fullness.

We are to be so filled with his Spirit, his light, truth, love, and holiness, that we become in our own measure like him, shining the glory of his image to a lost and dying world.

Ephesians 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
